matter and toxic substances.

Section 1.
Applicability. The provisions of this administrative regulation are applicable
to each affected facility which emits or may emit potentially hazardous matter
or toxic substances as defined in Section 2 of this administrative regulation,
provided such emissions are not elsewhere subject to the provisions of the
administrative regulations of the Division for Air Quality.

Section 2.
Definitions. Terms used in this administrative regulation not defined herein
shall have the meaning given to them in 401 KAR 50:010.

"Potentially hazardous matter or toxic substances" means matter which
may be harmful to the health and welfare of humans, animals, and plants,
including, but not limited to, antimony, arsenic, bismuth, lead, silica, tin,
and compounds of such materials.

Section 3.
Control of Potentially Hazardous Matter and Toxic Substances. Persons
responsible for a source from which hazardous matter or toxic substances may be
emitted shall provide the utmost care and consideration, in the handling of
these materials, to the potentially harmful effects of the emissions resulting
from such activities. No owner or operator shall allow any affected facility to
emit potentially hazardous matter or toxic substances in such quantities or duration
as to be harmful to the health and welfare of humans, animals and plants.
Evaluation of such facilities as to adequacy of controls and/or procedures and
emission potential will be made on an individual basis by the cabinet. (5 Ky.R.
